Aruba Wired/Wireless Integration

I've been asked the question about the feasibility of an integration between ServiceNow and Aruba.

In its simplest terms does anyone know if Aruba can be integrated with ServiceNow.

I have asked the question of, "what would you like the integration to do?", but have not been given any indication...... So it is unclear how the customer would like this integration to work, in terms of a Push of data from ServiceNow, or a Pull/Push from Aruba.

I've searched the internet for mention of an Aruba integration with ServiceNow but don't seem to be turning much up. There is mention of ServiceNow in the Aruba community, but having no knowledge of Aruba, I don't know if this is in the right context.

Any thoughts or experience peeps?

Speaking in regards to Aruba wireless:

It's been about two years since we've dug into the data, but I think you'll find that the Aruba AP's don't respond to SNMP themselves, instead they report to the controller directly. We manage many different sites that each have their own wireless controller, so we went down the path of writing a couple custom Discovery sensors to process data from the controllers that get classified via SNMP. We get access point info from the controller and create relationships between the two. 

Edit:

I should mention this is for CMDB/Discovery. We haven't done any Orchestration activities around Aruba yet.

 

Can you please share the pattern /probe

Have written a pattern for controller, but do not know oid from where ap's are fetched

Here are the models that we use and their OIDS.
